The Binance Alpha threshold has risen to 260 points overnight, and many players are exclaiming, 'There's nothing left to play for.' But hold on—this may not be the end, but rather the beginning of a new era for retail investors.
On the surface, the significant increase to a 260-point threshold makes it seem harder for ordinary users. However, this is actually the platform's way of using a high threshold to 'discourage' studios that operate in bulk, creating space for genuine users. Previously, at 200 points, studios easily monopolized spots with hundreds of accounts, leaving retail investors with almost no chance. Now, with facial recognition, device requirements, and real-name costs skyrocketing, it has become expensive and unprofitable for studios to operate.
For those retail investors who are truly dedicating their time, they only need to focus on one account, spending just over ten minutes a day to complete tasks, making it not difficult to reach 260 points. The last airdrop lasted a full 5 minutes before reaching capacity—compared to the previous '30 seconds to sell out' frenzy, ordinary users finally have a chance to participate with their speed.
In terms of profits, there's no need to pursue sudden wealth; stability is key. By carefully managing one account, the monthly earnings are expected to reach $200-500, which is far more sustainable than blindly operating multiple accounts.
Under the new rules, retail investors should:
Concentrate resources to refine one account
Consider waiting for the second phase to lower points for collection, improving cost-effectiveness
Maintain a long-term mindset and not give up due to short-term fluctuations
The increased threshold does not close the door but leads the game towards a healthier and fairer direction. The 260 points filter out speculation and impatience, leaving behind players who are willing to participate continuously.
This is not the end; it is a better beginning. @TreehouseFi #Treehouse $TREE
